ton.
WHATEVER is spent in saloon is
wasted. 1t is much worse than
wasted-it is a contribution to the
poverty, misery and crime fund.
THE Paris News says:
Hon. Roger Q. Mills has refused to meet
Hon. w. S. Herndon in joint discussion.
Mills evidently feels that he is no match for
the brainy east Texan.
No CLASS of men in Texas merit
higher commentator than the coun-
try editors who have espoused the
cause of humanity at great risk and
loss.
THE Texarkana Times makes this
prediction: "Dalas will give the Tex
as editors magnificent reception
next year. She never does anything
by halves
THE next annual meeting of the
Texas Press Association at Dallas will
be entertained by: Orator, Col. Carey
w. Styles, Meridian Citizen; essayist;
r. Z. Yantis, Wills Point Chronicle,
poetess, Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe,
of San Antonio.
THE prohibitioniSts are simply OPP
posed TO drunkenness-that is all. Sa-
looms and mean wbiskey mean drunk
enncss, poverty, distress and crime.
Ifyou favor whisky saloons, then you
are in for spree for yourself or for
some one else. Let us cross out the
word "spree" and turn no more Texas
boys into hogs.
WE are after INTOXICATING liquors.
The amendment relates exclusively to
these. How eau man be for mean
lotions which make the drunk come
every whack, if he does not want to
get drunk himself or to see some one
else in the gutter? What good does
drunkenness do? Let people use beer
or wine which is not intoxicating. The
amendment permits this
SOME of the ants claim that the
amendment prohibits the manufacture
und sale of all beer and wine. This
is not true. Only the liquors which
produce intoxication and make brutes
of men are to be prohibited. Stale
beer and spoiled wine, shipped
thousands of miles to us, make us
sick or drunk; the fresh homemade
articles do not. Encourage home en-
terprises. Build up Texas industries
THE HERALD fully concurs with the
Longview Cycle in the following:
The Texas Press Association VII hold ito
meeting in 1889 in Houston. No other place
need apply. The boys can't stay away from
that SPLENDID old home Of the T. z. A. any
longer.
Houston is very dear to the Il. p.
A.. and the Dallas members want the
privilege of putting that city in nomi.
nation next year, for 1889.
The HERALD hopes the county ex-
ecutive committee of Dallas county
will arrange a joint discussion at Dali
las between Mills and Culberson or
Mills and Crawford, or back.down
on Mills part: and then next discus
sion on July 4th between Judge Gus
taye Cook who has an appointment
for Dallas that date, aud Hon John III.
Reagan. The HERALD believes the
big guns of the ants are too sharp to
meet the pros in fair discussion.
AN effort was made by Mills friends
at Corsicana to show that Col. Mills,
failure to accept the prohibition invi-
tation to meet Dr. Carroll in joint
discussion at Corsicans on the 26th
nit was unavoidably due to Col. Mills
absence at that time. But Col. Mills
soreed 10 meet DIR. Carroll on the
s0tb. when the doctor had an appoint
meut away down in Southern Texas.
Al Henderson on Thursday this
lodging process was repeated with
even greater force. Mills had an APP
noiutment there. The county pro-
hibition committed asked for a joint
